Sealife and Jamie's

On the last Monday of the holidays I decided that the kids and I would go on an adventure to the Aquarium and then have dinner at Jamie's Italian. I saw an advertisement that kids could eat free with any meal purchased so we decided that it would be a good chance to go. So James took the car into work and we planned to meet up with him.

Because the car had the carseats in it, I planned to walk to the station with Alexander in the pram, Eliza on the skateboard and Daniel on the scooter to Pennant Hills Station. Unfortunately it was raining the day that we were going so I decided we couldn't use the scooter because the ground would be too slippery. Instead Daniel was to walk to the station. I was amazed at how well Daniel did! Eliza even walked part of the way.  I planned for Alexander to have a nap on the way to the station. Yep, that didn't happen. Dear. Oh well. Couldn't really do anything else. We made it - hot and sweaty.

The cargo trains that went past were very loud.

The kids were very excited to catch the train and loved looking out the window. They were keen to spot PLC where I went to school. Alexander was a bit sad that he didn't see it, it does go past quickly.

We then walked to the car park and eventually found the car (after going into the wrong carpark. Who knew there were so many carparks along the same street in the city!) We had to message Daddy that we had found the car.

We then walked down the Sealife. I love having an annual pass so we can just come whenever and skip the lines. I was worried that there would be lots of people there but it was surprisingly quiet.

The kids had a great time looking at the different animals again.

Fun adventures with these kiddies

Alexander thought this fluffy penguin was so funny

I was excited that the new section was open - the Great Barrier Reef. I would still love to go there at some point but this will do for the moment. The kids loved it!

The kids loved playing in the 'beach'.

Eliza loved how much her clothes glowed in the lights

Alexander liked seeing the sharks upclose

Daniel was amazed that a small fish was sitting inside this larger fish's mouth. It kept swimming in and out of the mouth.  So amazing that it didn't get eaten.

We then headed over to Jamie's Italian for dinner. We met Daddy at his work and then walked over. The kids were pretty excited to be there and got some awesome meals.

The meals were great! Daniel and Alexander ordered chicken lollypops and Eliza ordered a 5 park picnic pack including a wrap, apple, vege salad which came in a jar that they could shake to mix and something else. What a special treat for the kids! They also got to have a cup of milk. Definitely a fun night, although a bit stressful as the kids were quite tired.

We then walked back to the car and headed home. All 3 kiddies were so tired they fell asleep pretty quickly. I loved seeing the gorgeous sunset. Love my family.
